Today we’re recognising the incredible carers who regularly give unpaid help and support to family, friends, and neighbours every day, often without formal recognition.
This year’s theme is “Know your rights, use your rights”. One of the most important steps you can take is to register as a carer with your GP. It’s simple and recognises that your health matters too.
When you register:
- You can access flexible appointments
- Get priority for vaccinations
- Be referred to support services
- Be recognised for the vital role you play
We’ve created a short video about the Carers Passport, a tool that helps carers be identified and understood by professionals and others, and access the support they need.
If you’re a carer or know someone who is, take that first step today.
